They might as well just get rid of the crystal ball thing altogether if they aren't allowed to change their pick. The whole point is to make a guess on where they think a recruit will end up. If you take it more serious than that, then you should probably ignore the crystal ball section and wait for the recruit to make his announcement sign his letter of intent.

Miles Jones seems to be in line for the position once he gets healthy. Mo Washington also looks like a good fit if we can build some depth at RB. If Dedrick Mills can have similar production to Ozigbo, Mo can be moved around the field to get some open field opportunities. I also don't think the duck-r position is as big of a deal as we are making it. Our offense is doing pretty well without a specific player running it now.

Columbus is 3 hours from Frankfort and Lincoln is 11. That's a big difference to me. Nebraska no longer has the facilities edge that we once had. The SEC is bringing in more money and I'm sure Kentucky has been spending it. The SEC probably has a better perception in Kentucky than the Big Ten does. We might have the coaching edge, but we are currently 2-6 while Kentucky is 7-1, so that wouldn't be a hard sell for them. Have you seen how many times they give the ball to Benny Snell? I'm sure that doesn't hurt.

If you are skeptical about him going to UK for valid reasons, you should be much more skeptical about his reasons to come to NU. We made his final cut despite not being closer to home, not having as successful of a program, not having the pull of the SEC, not having better weather, and probably a few other reasons. How much money do you think we offered him?

Is JD really playing the Duck-R? He seems to be more of a straight WR and my impression of the Duck-R is a hybrid RB-WR. I don't think we really have anyone one on the team playing that position but I would say Mo Washington is probably the closest. I may not understand the position well though.

I still think the 2 year holding stat has much more to do with an anemic pass rush than any officiating bias. When you don't challenge the offensive line, there's no reason to hold. You also pass less when you have a lead.

Drew Brown struggled his freshman season and he got it together. I think with kickers, it's just a matter of getting your nerves under control and having confidence. This should come with experience. Pickering has the talent, but he's also just a freshman. I expect him to be solid in the future.
I the punting situation is the bigger issue. Armstrong is doing much better, but we have had way too many shanks over the last couple of seasons.

@Cdog923 I do not believe the pride is for the record, but more for things moving in the right direction. I feel good about the progression, not the record, as you point out. That will come, just maybe not as fast as one would like.

The one thing I don't understand is how the defense looked so aggressive during the Colorado game and so much like a Diaco defense since then. It looks like 4 guys rushing and getting attached to the O-line like in tecmo bowl. What happened to all the blitzes we saw in the first game.
